What is an owner move-in (OMI)?
Owner move-in is another way a landlord may try to evict a residential tenant in San Francisco by claiming he wants to move into the tenant’s unit. For a valid owner move-in, a landlord has to comply very carefully with the law. The landlord must usually give the tenant at least 60 days’ written notice of his intent to move in. The notice must also advise what other residential realty the landlord owns. The notice must then be delivered with a sum in excess of $2,250.00 payment per adult tenant. Other amounts may also be due the tenants. The landlord must also pay the same sum per adult tenant when the unit is turned over to him. There are other requirements and restrictions as well.
